The Kessler Crane Pocket Jib PRO offers a compact and portable jib option for camera rigs up to 50 pounds offering about 80 inches of reach and weighing 26.7 pounds. Key features include:
Supports up to 50 pounds of equipment
Telescopes to 80 inches
100mm bowl for attaching fluid heads
Counterweights not included
Fifty Pound Capacity. The Kessler Crane Pocket Jib PRO is the perfect balance of strength and portability. The jib can handle up to 50 lbs of gear while collapsing to an overall length of 46in. for travel. Fully extended, you’ll get around 80 inches of reach and the jib weighs in at 26.7 lbs.
Compatibility. The jib will need a very strong tripod to hold the weight of the jib plus your rig, so we recommend pairing it with Kessler’s heavy duty K-Pod tripod. On the other end of the jib you’ll find a 100mm bowl to attach any compatible 100mm half ball fluid head. The Manfrotto 509HD is a great option, and at under 10 pounds, there’s still room for a 40 pound camera.
Counterweights Not Included. You’ll need to source counterweights to balance the jib. Shipping sand and concrete isn’t very economical, but we do send clamps to secure gym-style free weights. If you have no way to source weights yourself, we do offer Impact 15lbs and Impact 25lbs shot bags as separate rental items.
